After the shootings, Sue and Tom Klebold sent hand-written apologies to the 23 people injured and families of another 13 who lost their lives — baring their hearts and sharing their grief.

Though she’s only read it three times, Hochhalter held on to that note and recently posted a photo of it to her Facebook page.

“Though we have never met, our lives are forever linked through this tragedy that has brought unspeakable heartbreak to our families and our community,” the Klebolds wrote in 1999. “With deepest humility we apologize for the role our son, Dylan, had in causing the suffering you and your family have endured.”

After nearly 16 years, Hochhalter replied in public on Facebook: “I have no ill-will towards you. Just as I wouldn’t want to be judged by the sins of my family members, I hold you in that same regard.”
